March 1st....

today is St. David's Day...the daffodil is the national symbol of the holiday in Wales...here in the U.S. it is not as well know a holiday as St. Patrick's day...there are no parades..no mayor of any city will lead a parade...no one will announce that today we are all Welsh...but there is a lot of American history that was impacted by the Welsh..for instance the Declaration of Independence...and so much more...but this is not a history lesson..this is just to wish one and all a Happy St. Davids Day..in Wales today there will be much singing and time spent in Church...and if you are lucky Welsh Cakes made like Momz makes them...

the national costume of Wales...I have always thought this was a partial inspiration for Mother Goose's image..to say nothing of the typical Halloween Witch...and my Grandmother may have been the inspiration for that...no just kidding...the Halloween Witch was around long before her..and she never did dress in nation costume...

so Happy St. Davids everyone..even if you don't know that is what today is...now for those Welsh Cakes..which if I do say so myself I can make a mean batch of too...YUM!...bring on the currents!...oh and in case you care about any of this the Welsh have never been that crazy about the English giving them a "Prince of Wales"...and the dud they have right now is typical of what the Welsh have had from the English for centuries...but then the English are so good at giving..just ask the Irish...or the Scott's...on that thought I leave....
